Early Life
at  the  brink  of  toddlerhood ,  markl  was  left  at  the  doorstep  of  an  orphanage  by  parents  who  couldn’t  afford  another  mouth  to  feed. the  clothes  he  wore  smelled  of  fish  &  the  sea  ,  which  earned  him  his  last  name  —  fisher. the  angelic  features  of  his  face  earned  him  the  name  michael  ,  after  the  archangel. the  name  meant  little  to  him  ;  it  sounded  foreign  in  his  ears . he  was  detached  to  it  &  everything  around  him . nothing  was  permanent  ,  so  why  keep  it  close  ?  the  other  kids  make fun  of  him. ’ michael  !  makel   !  makrel  '! ’  they  play  with  his  name  ,  tossing  it  around  like  a  ball  ,  kicking  harder  &  harder  until  it  deflates  into ’ markl ! '‘  they  like that  one. repeat  it  in  unison  as  if  it  made  any  difference  to  him. in  fact  ,  he  quite  liked  the  sound  of  it  —-  adopts  it  as  his  own. it  sounds  better  than  michael  ;  fits  nicer  ,  hugs  tighter.

he’s  15  years  old  when  the  orphanage  shuts  down. most  of  the  kids  he  grew  up  with  had  found  homes  or  reached  adulthood. he  was  one  of  the  unlucky  ones  ,  left  to  fend  for  himself. so  markl  wanders  hopelessly  ,  unsure  of  what  to  search  for. he  finds  himself  seeking  refuge  at  a  peculiar  looking  castle  ,  though  his  knocks  go  unanswered. the  orphan  falls  asleep  on  the  doorstep  ,  waiting  for  someone  to  let  him  in. calcifer  does  eventually  ;  opens  the  door  reluctantly  for  a  starving  child. though  howl  doesn’t  notice  him  until  a  week  after  his  arrival  ,  but  doesn’t  tell  him  to  leave. markl makes himself useful –- becomes his apprentice, agrees to learn & help as much as he can.undefined

markl  makes  himself  useful  —-  becomes  his  apprentice  ,  agrees  to  learn  &  help  as  much  as  he  can . takes  notes  ,  runs  errands  ,  earns  his  keep  (  though  no  one  asked  him  to  ). it  was  unspoken  ,  his  rise  into  apprenticeship. just  something  that  came  naturally. howl  gave  him  purpose  &  shelter. when  sophie  came ,  it  became  like  home  ,  a  family. it  was  something  that  he  had  never  admitted  he  wanted  ,  not  even  to  himself. but  he’d  do  anything  to  make  sure  he  never  ,  ever loses  it .
